![]() In planning the tour, Jackson made sure to include her hometown, Ipswich, as one of the destinations. Since the release of her novel, Jackson has been on a whirlwind tour that has included stops at numerous bookstores, appearances on podcasts, and an interview on ABC’s Good Morning America ( Pineapple Street was chosen for GMA’s Book Club). Whether you’re rich - or of the sentiment that we should “eat the rich” - the soulful satire of Pineapple Street is sure to confuse, and at times indulge, your sense of moral and social hierarchy. It’s the most quoted line in the predominantly positive reviews of Pineapple Street (an “immortal line” according to Celia McGee of the New York Times), and a line which perfectly sets the stage for the comedic, page-turning romp that follows. Only three pages into the novel, we see Georgiana Stockton, dressed in her tennis whites, crying out, “Oh no! I left my Cartier bracelet in Lena’s BMW and she’s leaving soon for her grandmother’s house in Southhampton!” Scott Fitzgerald had written the screenplay for a 2023 remake of the movie Clueless, we might encounter similar characters and themes. IPSWICH - In her New York Times bestselling debut novel, Pineapple Street, Ipswich native Jenny Jackson offers us a glimpse behind the Brooklyn brownstone façade of the obnoxiously rich Stockton family. ![]()
